COMMANDS

cleo reads commands from a file. Each line is treated as one command. Blank lines and those starting with # will be ignored. The commands themselves can be anything that you would type into an interactive shell. You can also add a few special tokens that cleo recognizes:

!!!

Commands starting with !!! (three exclamation points) are not displayed and will be executed immediately. This is useful for running setup commands at the beginning of your demonstration.

%%%

Within a command, %%% (three percent signs) will cause cleo to pause and wait for a keypress before displaying the rest of the command. This is useful if you want to stop in the middle of a command to give some explanation.

Otherwise, cleo displays and executes the commands verbatim. Note that some interactive commands like vim are picky about STDOUT and STDIN. To make them work properly with cleo, you may need to force them to attach to the terminal like this:
